I like how it has a little bit of Rocksteady's Arkham games. For example, the fear mechanic remind me of how enemies AI in the Arkham games is made so that the enemies become more and more paranoid the more of their comrades you take out, untill the last one shoots at any noise it hears. Rocksteady's games seem almost like a remate of this one, in the best way possible.

I have a soft spot for this game. I remember getting sucked into its atmosphere and it was one of the first "dark" Batman media I experienced. It's kinda funny going back because there are some ideas that Arkham took and improved upon, such as stealth and the use of fear to fight armed enemies. Begins never really develops those ideas beyond linear setpieces, but Arkham would take those same concepts and refine them into actual gameplay mechanics. For what it is though and the time period it came out, I still think Begins is a fairly solid game, and it's at least somewhat better than a lot of other licensed games from that era.

_"Fear is your Weapon"_ has never been more competently achieved in a game than playing the Alien campaign in *Aliens vs Predator* (the '99, one) - and to a lesser extent the sequel Human NPCs would go from ballsy and brave, to nervous noises and twitchy reactions, to running to hide behind geometry in other rooms, to the point you'd startle them so badly by dropping down or hissing above/behind them, that they'd blow everyone else in the room away with their shotgun trying to kill you OR better yet, drop what they were carrying; which was usually a molotov cocktail 😂🔥 I used to spend *hours* just fkn around with them, like a cat torturing a mouse. This this day, one of the best implementations of fear in a game and one of the most entertaining powertrips in the *history* of gaming (Also, the best AvP "anything" ever made)

I rented this this on PS2 from Blockbuster when i was 6 years old. I vividly remember early on in the tutorial Batman would just... stop moving. No matter how many times I restarted the game, the whole game would just freeze when I got to that part, telling Batman to sneak with the "R3" button. 6 year old me turned the controller up, down and all around, searching for the label of the R3 button. Coincidentally, L3 and R3 are the *only* buttons on the Dualshock 2 controller not to have any label on it at all 😂 you have to click in the analog stick!!! I literally had to go back to playing a different game because of it, never figured it out. What a core memory of mine. Years later, when I had an internet connection and I *really* wanted to turn Super Saiyan in Tenkaiachi 3, I finally learned what an R3 button was. Shortly after, I bought Batman Begins and I *adored* it even though i was super bad at it! Such good times...
